She's so intent on "pushing that weak spot" because she wants you to go away, IMHO. I've known people who sound a lot like this woman who push all the right buttons to get their own way. And her own way is pretty obvious ~ she doesn't want to share your birth daughter's affections with you. She may be scared deep down, or she may just be a jealous woman...who knows? It sounds like she's succeeding, though, if you're rethinking the timing of the reunion.

IMO, the person who is going to get hurt if you cut off contact is going to be your daughter. She's already met you...she's already developing a relationship with you. It's too late to turn back the clock and return to pre-reunion status. You may just have to bite the bullet here, and let the amom have her own way regarding the vacation. Your daughter will one day be a full-fledged adult and be able to make her own decisions without fearing the fallout with her mom. Just my two cents...
